You Can Count on Squares!

Submitted by Sarah Thomas on Wed, 08/20/2008 - 21:03
in

The unit is presented as a scenario that includes five tasks that students engage in and explore to develop mathematical, specifically algebraic, ideas. Although the tasks are built around measurement, they are algebraic to the extent that they require ‘formulae’ to be derived form the geometric situations. It is sufficient at this Level for the students to express these formulae in words rather than in symbols.

This unit is made up of five stations which investigate the relationships between the area and perimeters of squares and rectangles. The unit could be taken a series sessions with the whole class or the students could circulate around the stations over the five days.

This unit is around discovering and applying the rule for area of a triangle (area equals half base times height).  Students will practice multiplication and division strategies as they calculate areas.

These exercises, activities and games are designed for students to use independently or in small groups to practise number properties. Some involve investigation (see Related Resources) and may become longer and more involved with subsequent recording/reporting.
